waiting for the clouds to break

Good morning yall!
happiest monday and MARDI GRAS WISHES! (happy mardi gras tomorrow) go eat a king cake or go run and scream in the road and I think you'll catch the spirit right? #partyemoji
 
so here's a thing that will hopefully make yall happy! 
bell bell and I have decided as a companionship goal we need to have more fun. and do things. and one of the things we decided was to take a comp picture every single day! so its been alot of fun this week and this will be a picture letter plus some stories :)

Ms. Anne: she is such a character. She always has a story to tell every time we walk out the door. (guess we need to plan to leave an extra 10-15 minutes before we need to because we always get caught up talking to her!) she is a God fearing lady. So prayerful and rad. We hope someday when we can get a word in that we can teach her about the church! :)
Day 1: tuesday, post district meeting
Hunny came to visit meee! it was a very happy moment. love her so so much
 
Day 2: wednesday
a look at our normal lives. just came in for the night but this is our study desk. (i spy a cute lil fambam of mine)
 
Day 3: thursday
this is our CUTE lil neighbor Ms. Anne!! She is 84 and rocking!
day 4: Friday
tracting and taking a quick pic in front of an Azalea bush! these flowers are EVERYWHERE right now in all colors and its absolutely stunning. love all these plants (since it is already spring here)
also tracting. let me introduce yall to a crawfish hole/burrow whatever its called.
these are everywhere. this is what a crawfish lives in. and as you can see we were
just tracting and came across a whole yard of them. 
its casual

Day 5: saturday
remember our friend cowboy? yes. he is great. we went and visited with him
 and he had bought 10 chicks only two days old!
they. are. adorable.
We ended up having the best impromptu gourmet dinner with him. Since we couldn't go in his house without a lady there he decided to cook salmon on the fire! first was the crabmeat salad, then salmon, then strawberries for dessert. then good life chats next to the fire, staring at the flames. there ain't nothing better than this life I promise.
 
the cowboy himself
 
Day 6: Sunday
This is my favorite kids on the mission! they are from the cutest member family that has us over for dinner most sunday nights and these kids are just a hoot. 
the Hofeling clan
Zade in the back, Max in front of him, Giselle in front of yours truly, and Abe in the stripes. 
 
Abe picks me a cute lil wildflower bouquet every time we show up <3
 
giselle knows how to pose for the selfies!
 
we had a lil dog pile for a minute. it was really warm..... dying of heat currently in this pic
 
then we moved the dogpile into the designated dog pile box. #goodtimes
 
 but as far as how the week went in real life.. dang yall. it was rough. we had renewed determination and drive to go finding alot again this week. and it was met with a bunch of the same thing I have gotten for the last 3 transfers. 
But that really does not stop us from showing our faith! 
We strive to show our faith by tracting and then we receive blessings from that work. 
so lets goooooo!!!! #poundingthepavement #geauxfullbunny #hardinthepaint #teamrossshoutout

So moral of the story if you just want to skip to the end...
its been hard. real hard. but we are blessed beyond alllll belief. I can't even tell you how much. 
Just trying to wait in faith for those clouds to break and feel that sunshine!

LOVE YALL SO SO MUCH!
